Knowledge is key to understanding the options we have for moving forward toward the best healthcare our nation can deliver. Our aim is to learn about these options and share this knowledge into our communities.

Our line-up of incredible speakers (bios below):Dr. Josephine Soliz will make the case that we as a country spend more money on poorer care on a smaller percentage of our population than all the other developed countries that have figured out, better than we have, how to provide health insurance and thus access to healthcare to 100% of their population.Dr. Minako Watabewill present the case for universal access to health insurance from the patient harm perspective.Dr. Clint McBride will key us in about single payer healthcare/insurance.Michael Williams, Director of Grey Law of Ventura County will speak of the dangers to citizens currently on Medicare and Medi-Cal if the proposed changes to Obamacare are implemented.Héctor Hernández-Delgado, Staff Attorney for National Health Law Programwill give us an overview of our existing healthcare model, touching on single payer and legal implications/ramifications.Afterward, we will screen the movie Fix it: Healthcare at the Tipping Point

Bios (and detailed directions to the venue, including access to the rear entrance, due to construction):

Thanks to three Republican women senators, Obamacare might just survive the GOP’s campaign to repeal it. The fight is not over, so keep calling our own senators with words of encouragement in this fight, but let’s thank these women for their courage to stand up against their own party and for wanting to see something better for their constituents and the rest of us.
